Boys and their toys

Tonight we (well Travis actually) cleaned up and rearranged Trevor's room and set up his train that Grandma H got him for Christmas. It's really a clever little gizmo. It's a Fisher-Price "Toots the Train." Trevor seemed to enjoy watching it. He's still to little to fully operate it but he has fun watching it. I think Travis enjoys it more at the moment than Trevor does. He couldn't help but play with it when he took Trevor up to bed. :o)

We hadn't put it up until tonight because we hadn't had room for it and Trevor was a little too young for it. Travis has been wanting to change Trevor's bed into a toddler bed. It's one of those 4-in-1 cribs. I've been hesitant because I don't think Trevor is ready to have free reign in his room. I have images in my mind of clothes from his dresser strewn everywhere and him playing with his toys in the middle of the night instead of sleeping.

While all of these are justifiable concerns, in reality those are just a cover for my real concern; that my baby boy is growing up right in front of my eyes. ~sniff sniff~ It seems like just yesterday that I was holding him in my arms watching him sleep like I do now with Jayden. Or that I was up nursing him in the middle of the night, hoping against hope that the next night he would sleep through the night.

These baby days go way too fast. I'm trying my hardest to appreciate each moment of Jayden's infancy as I know very soon they will all be just a fleeting memory and I'll be trying to keep her a baby.
